The software is capable of controlling only parts of the AR 2. It controls the V1 completely however due to changes in the protocols there are parts which cannot be controlled on the V2. I believe this is limited to the camera only but I may be wrong. Have a search on the forum, the topic has come up a few times in the past.

Hello Esh , welcome to the community. The controls will work on the v2. It is the camera video feed that is the problem. It uses a jpeg compression H264 encoding. A few decoders have been tried with only partial success. The video tends to be both delayed and choppy. Since they encoded the video stream they made this difficult. You may be best off attaching your own wireless camera. There are very small and light options with dongles you can plug into your pc. I pasted a link above.
